Photo Updates

Recommended Posts

This thread is going to be the only thread where the Grow Out Competition photo updates are to be posted until the end of the competition. Last round we had some difficulties locating all the updates (scratch) so this round we will keep them in one thread. Remember, the frag must stay on the official GOC plugs they were given to you on. This thread will be moderated, meaning you can post whatever you like, but everytime photo updates are coming in I will be sifting through this thread removing any non relevant posts. When maintaining thread posts will be deleted for reason "thread clean up"

First photo update is required within the week of November 23rd through the 30th. They must be in before November 30th at midnight or you may be DQ'd. Rules this time around will be strictly enforced.(enforcer)

Second photo update is required within the week of December 25th through the 31st. DQ could result if they are not put in by midnight on the 31st. Due to the holidays, you are allowed to post a few days early if you want, to make sure you don't forget... Happy Holidays!!!

Final photo update is required by midnight on January 31st. No exceptions unless previously discussed.

I would like to see photo's from everyone in the next 2 weeks or before the 15th but that isn't required.

I have a question... You say the first pic updated is required within the week of nov 23 through nov 30th. Can I post before that week and not post during those dates without getting DQ'd? I will be out of town those dates.

Hello everyone, I am relatively new to this site and would like to introduce myself and my tank for the November grow out competition. Anyway I will keep it brief...my name is Pete and below is a list of my system components and some photos. I purchased this tank from Brad..aka bbatman in September...since then I have made some modifications and additions to the system. I am relatively brand new to the hobby, so I am trying to learn quickly and at times have felt like I have been drinking from a firehose. Nonetheless I am truely enjoying the learning process and the relaxation and beauty that this hobby provides...I think im hooked. Dont worry Brad the carpet anenome that was in here is in good hands, just had to trade it in with Patrick because it was just outgrowing the tank. I was in there the other day and it looks like he has sold him off already. :-) Anyway here it is.

Tank is a 40 gallon breeder, 18 gallon sump with sock every other week, big airstone driven skimmer, a Gen-x 2400 return pump hooked up to a 3/4 inch sea swirl, a korillia #3 for added cerc, Lighting comes from a 250 watt se 20k bulb. I am going to have a bare bottom tank but waiting till my cement rocks are cured before taking out whats left of the sand.

Hi all, I'm running a 29 gallon tank with a currentusa sundial t5 fixture, (4x24watt with two geissman aquablues and 2 geissman actinic+), and a koralia 4 for circulation. I have a 10 gallon sump/fuge with no baffles that has a big ball of chaeto, some live rock rubble, a filter sock, and a no-name skimmer. I am using a mag 5 return pump.

I just added 15 pounds of dry aragonite sand to act as a buffer for ph, but up until last week I had been running it barebottom for several years. I just started running some carbon in the filter sock in an attempt to combat a small but annoying cyano bloom that I believe was triggered by the addition of the sand.
